A Mumbai court recently passed strong strictures against the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on finding that the agency failed in its constitutional duty to ensure a speedy trial for the accused in a money laundering case.
Mumbai police arrested Ajit Menon, a close aide of Cox & Kings owner Ajay Peter Kerkar, in connection with a fraud case involving Yes Bank. Menon was apprehended at Cochin airport in Kerala after arriving from London. A Look Out Circular was issued against him. Menon was brought to Mumbai and remanded in police custody until April 15.
In February 2021, the EOW registered an offence against Cox & Kings Financial Services Ltd (CKFSL), a sister concern of Cox & Kings, for defrauding Yes Bank of nearly Rs 400 crore.
